Chapter 194: Chapter 194: Two Slaps

Mian hadn’t been idle either.

The last time she came to the old mansion, she hardly had a good look around, so she walked along the pebble path and heard the sparse sound of running water.

She followed the sound all the way inside and saw a rockery waterfall in the distance.

"Xiao Xi, we really didn’t know about this matter. When we brought you back to the country, we had thought about introducing you to Sichen. After all, the Fu Family is now in his hands. It would be best if you could marry into the Fu Family."

"Only, we didn’t expect..."

Ye Luoxi pursed her red lips, her mind still filled with Jiang Mian and Sichen’s loving appearance: "Auntie, you promised me that you would ensure I marry into the Fu Family. That’s why I left behind all my admirers to come back to the country with you."

She hadn’t anticipated coming over today only to be humiliated by Old Mr. Fu and left without a way to step down.

She had never suffered such indignity since childhood.

Ye Zi had a temper too, and upon hearing this, she immediately grew unhappy: "Ye Luoxi! Could the Ye Family have its status today if it weren’t for me? Don’t go around thinking you’re the princess now."

"Without me, you’re nothing."

Jiang Mian had wanted to walk further away, but their voices grew louder and louder, not bothering to lower their voices at all.

Her beautiful and striking face curled into a smile.

What a long life this had been.

Dog eat dog, interesting.

Right as Jiang Mian was about to step away, she heard the following conversation—

"Auntie, yes, you’re right. If it weren’t for you climbing up to the Fu Family, we wouldn’t be where we are now."

"Driving the legitimate wife into depression and angering her to death, so indeed having you in the Ye Family is a blessing for us."

"So, I must marry into the Fu Family, even if just like you once did..."

"Slap—"

A loud slap resounded, and Ye Luoxi’s head was stunned.

The delicate handprint crisply marked her face.

The two were somewhat clueless at the sudden appearance of Jiang Mian.

Ye Luoxi looked up at the woman standing in front of her, the beautiful eyes glowing fiercely, not a trace of smile on her delicate face.

She stepped back two steps, her expression somewhat fierce.

"You? Hit me?"

"How dare you hit me?!"

Ye Zi hadn’t expected Jiang Mian to be here, so their conversation just now...

"Miss Lin, that..."

Jiang Mian bypassed Ye Zi and backhanded another slap on Ye Luoxi’s face.

Now the two slap prints were symmetrical.

Ye Zi was at least an elder, but Ye Luoxi couldn’t help herself from retaliating, feeling justified as Jiang Mian.

A cold smile spilled from Jiang Mian’s red lips: "Who else if not you."

Living a pampered life from childhood, Ye Luoxi couldn’t stand such treatment and raised her hand to hit Jiang Mian.

"Going to hit my wife?"

Jiang Mian’s wrist was suddenly grabbed and pulled backward, a familiar figure appearing in front of them.

The air instantly solidified.

Sichen’s eyes were slightly deeper, his voice devoid of warmth: "You dare?"

Ye Luoxi’s hand froze mid-air.

Seeing Sichen arrive, tears began rolling down her face, the bright red slap mark on her fair face starkly visible: "President Fu, Miss Lin hit me first. Just because she’s your wife, that doesn’t mean she can bully people like this."

Jiang Mian crossed her arms, hating this kind of drama queen the most.

Even the angle of her cries was tailored to her man’s preferences.

Seems like she has practiced a lot.

Sichen bent down and caressed Jiang Mian’s palm, the tingling sensation making Jiang Mian a bit itchy.

The cool fingertips were particularly soothing against her slightly reddened palm.

The man said with some concern: "This has swollen..."

Jiang Mian’s brain suddenly jolted, his words sounding eerily similar to something he would say at night.

She shivered.

Bearing Sichen’s burden almost changed her.

What was she thinking, Jiang Mian?
